Abueva celebrates 30th birthday by helping Aces win

ANTIPOLO — There’s no way Calvin Abueva would let Alaska lose on Sunday. Not on his 30th birthday.

More often than not, Abueva was all over the floor doing a little bit of everything for the Aces, who were able to hold on to a 105-98 victory over the GlobalPort Batang Pier.


“Of course, I don’t want that to happen. It was [God] who gave us this win,” said Abueva in Filipino.

The energetic forward finished with 12 points, 12 rebounds, three assists, and two blocks in the victory, with the bulk of his contributions coming after Alaska stared at a 13-point deficit in the third quarter.

“We really gave it our all in this game and we wish we could continue this run,” he said.
